I'd like to dedicate this report to Shakabra... j/k ;-) Fished with the boyz (Brandon, #2, Daniel, Brandon's homey, Marco and a couple other guys that were already there) today. Just to give you an idea of the effect my reports actually have, I would've called Daniel, Brandon, #2 and Marco and told em to get down there anyway, and one of the float tubers is always down there, and I've seen him before, so that leaves ONE float tuber who could possibly have heard about the bite from the internet from my report, but enough of that. Finding myself fastracless (I lost one yesterday to a pelican, and had to borrow one of Pete's for the remainder of the night) I had to throw plastic today. Had a Castaic Sardine on one rod and a white grub on another (that's a new one, just tryin it out...). Brandon and friend, and Brian #2 were already in the water when me and Daniel got there. Brandon had one short seabass when we got in the water at about 6:30. Brandon caught a couple more shorts and so did his friend, and Brian stuck a couple shorts. The other tuber guy that I didn't know got a few too. Daniel got a couple and I only managed one stinkin short fish all day on a 5.5" green sardine with a 1oz. unpainted head, but I'm NOT going to tell you what knot I tied!!! I simply won't. That's where I draw the line (ok, seriously, that's enough...). I got bit PLENTY of times, believe me, but for some reason they just wouldn't stick. Maybe I'm used to those three treble hooks or something... I didn't get bit at all on the Castaic and had all my bites on the green sardine. Brandon was throwing green sardine or a green sardine like color as far as I could tell. Toward the end of the night #2 finally stuck a barely legal fish. He employed a new technique which involved pitching his swimbait to the corner of the bait barge, raising the rod tip, and then dropping it to create slack and engaging the reel and just letting the bait fall. He caught 3 or 4 shorts and his legal doing this. Damn bass fishermen... Me and Brandon tried it for a little bit but that only resulted in sandies... Another interesting note is that Brian Kettler got himself some glow stick rip bait from Sport Mart made by Yo-Zuri I think. He says it was $5, and believe it or not he caught a considerable amount of shorts on it. Brandon was the hot stick on the shorts though. So, the fish are definitely still there but for some reason they seemed to run smaller today. Most of the shorts were SHORT. Like 20" norm, some even smaller. I guess that big school just didn't move through tonight. Perfect high tide at 8:00. Maybe the big school moved in later. We left at 9:00.

A few people listen to your reports. Thats how I got intretsted last year. I will be going soon. My son is out of school in a couple weeks then we get started. he just got his first float tube and is ready to catch some seabass

Cool, thanks for the dedication! But dude, don't hold out on me now... what kind of knot were you tying? I've really got to know! (j/k)

Brian uses granny knots exclusively - that's his secret :)

***********************

You can't catch tomorrow what you kill today - please practice catch and release.

lol. Yeah, I swear, only granny knots. It's the only way to catch seabass. Now go out there with a granny knot and knock em dead! lol
